I like the longer posts that cover a topic more thoroughly, as long as they don't have filler. But I see here on Steemit that people are tending to the shorter 'nuggets' of information. So I'm trying a mix of shorter content and then longer form.

Yeah... and I think it also depends some on your choices of subject matter. Telling a joke is as long as it is. Telling a story, or sharing a point is as long as it is. "Describing a forest" is incredibly open-ended... as are many "experientially based" topics... My own approach is definitely "tainted" by years of being a content creator in the age of "spun content" created for no purpose other than to gain Google search rankings. That stuff annoyed me SO much I'm almost allergic to "generalized filler."
I am so glad that Google has found ways to deal with the "spun content". It was really crowding the search results for a while there. I like content, real content, too. And it irks me no end to see the exact same (or nearly the same) text in blog after blog after blog, where information or misinformation just gets passed around in the same way. It's a big problem in trying to find details about eating wild plants or unusual garden foods. I think that's why I emphasize my own experience with those things here on Steemit. Here's to real content!
